Reduced Cattle Rates.

ST. PAUL, August 5.-The Northern Pa
cific announces new rates for cattle from
Dakota, Montana and Idaho, points to
Chicago or Milwaukee. These rates take
effect to-day. The new rates per car from
fontana points for cattle or sheep in sin
gle or double-decked cars are as append
ed. They are from SO to $27 less than
last years rates. The reduction at some
points is as follows: Miles City, S16:
Bozeman, $50; Billings, S22;. Helena, $40.
The new rates referred to are as follows:
Glendive. S10s; Miles City, $117; Rosebud,
1921: Forsyth, 1928; Custer, $125; Bill
lings, S135; Saltwater, $40; Merrill, Sal;
Big Timber, $3.50: Livingston, $3.50; Boze-
man. S170; Gallatin, s178: Helena, $3.50;
Garrison, $3.50; Butte, $190; Missoula,
S195. The rates on native horses will be
$40 per car higher than that provided for
cattle or sheep. The new rates are made
out of regard for the fact that the losses
of live stock during the past winter have
been very heavy and because cattle are
low in Chicago. A changed condition of
affairs next year may induce the company
to adopt the old rates.

Northern Pacific Progress.

HELENA, August 10. The progress
made ON the Northern Pacific branch
lines may be summarized as follows: On
the Helena, Boulder Valley S Butte rail
road the first thirty miles are nearly COM
peted On Friday the track entered
Boulder. There is still considerable sur
facing to be done on the road, and it will
not be in shape for regular traffic for a
days yet; but Col. Clough hopes to put on
regular trains by the 22d instant, to run
from jefferson to Boulder ander the con-
struction department. As soon as this is
done the stages will be taken off between
the two points and mails, passengers and
freights will go from Helena to Boulder
by rail. Work on the section beyond
Boulder is progressing rapidly and soon
miles the other side of Boulder and 30
miles from jefferson, will be covered by
bands of steel. This will be completed by
September /, or shortly thereafter, and by
the first of October the entire line will be
in the hands of the operating department.
Calvin's ranch will be made the terminus

from Butte and only that short distance

have been let beyond Calyin's. A pre-

Butte, and Col. CIough is Of the opinion

Thence it goes to Pony, Red Bluff, and
the National park. The first section from
Boulder to Three Forks, distance of
thirty-eight miles, will probably be build

Repairing the Wires.

Mr.. Mckee, the superintendent of the
Rocky Mountain Telegraph Company has
arrived in town and promises that the of
fee shall be moved to this side of the
river in few days. He intends that the
wire shall be firmly fixed at the river so
that there shall be no Interruptions. Mr..
Mckee has personally supervised the
repair and renewal of the line from here
to Fort Assinaboine by way of Fort Ben
ton, and says that it is now in thorough
order and ia direct connection with the
Canadian system at Medicine Hat. This
gives new route from here to the tele
graph systems of the world, including, of
course, the Transatlantic cables. Previous
to the completion of this circuit, messages
from Great Falls to the east and Europe
had to go by way of Helena. Mr.. Mckee
will proceed from here to Helena, but
will get out on the way about about $50
poles which will be used to replace
others which are defective. In about
three weeks, Mr.. Mckee will have COM
pleted the work on hand and will then be
stationed at Butte. In answer to the COM
plants which have been made regarding
the defective service furnished hitherto,
Mr.. Mckee promises that it shall be con-
Quoted efficiently hereafter.
Mr.. Mckee says that much loss and
many Interruptions are caused by freight
ers, who maliciously cut down the poles
and use them as fire-wood. In some in
stances the freighters hack off the lower
part of the pole, but this is almost as bad
as if they took it all, for the pole soon
falls to the ground. Several poles will
have to be placed on the Birdtail divide on
account of this p]under. The company
offers areward of $50 for the conviction
of each pole-stealer, who is liable to long
term of Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for that offense.

Executed by Shooting.

SALT LAKE, August 12-Fred Hopt,
alias Weiconn, was shot in the yard of the
prison, four miles from this city at 12 :45
to-day. The firing party consisted of five
men with rifles. DR.. Hamilton pined a
rosette over Hopt's heart and told him TO
to be firm and look steadily at the guns
and death would come quickly. The con-
demned man showed firmness, said he
torgave everybody, but said If he had had
a fair show on the first trial he would not
be here to-day. He came out of his cell
smoking cigar and kept it in his mouth
until the last and posed as for photo
graph. He was seated on a
chair upon blanket and sat
up drmly and steadily. Marshal Dick

click of five rifles rang out as one. and
the rigid body of the dead man fell for

pinned over his heart, and one a little
above and another little below, one cart

A number of gentlemen were talking over
that stery in front of the Ebbitt house last
evening, when one of them said: THAT
reminds me of story which Lot Morrill,
once told me of his own writing. It was
at the time when Maj. Dunn of the army
was paying attention to the senator's
daughter. The young people had come
to an understanding, but Miss Morrill,
thought that papa's consent ought to be
obtained before they proceed further.
Maj. Dunn wrote nice letter to papa in
witch he requested that the future of the
young lady might be confided to his care.
Senator Morrill, could read the signature,
but the rest of the letter was worse than
Greek to him. He devined its contents,
however, and at once wrote reply, in
which the desired consent was given.
Dunn took it to his lady-love, with the re-
mark: Here's your fathers letter What
does he say?' eagerly inquired the young
lady. 4 have been trying to find out ever
since [ received it. was the answer, but I
can make nothing out of it. Miss Morrill,
tried to read the note, but she, too, failed.
Never mind said the lover, I'VE will get
married anyhow And they We're mar
ried. Mrs. Dunn had both those letters
framed. She says that there is not per-
son on earth who can read either of them. !"

but they are bound together by mutual

Tribunel.-C A. Clayton, ranchman
living near Melrose, came to Butte yes
terday afternoon to surrender himself to
the authorities having shot two men one
of them fatally. The trouble was about
some hay land. the right to which was
claimed by Clayton, z. c. Maddox, Charles
Powers and and Wm Penrose, all of them
ranchmen The last three came to
Clayton's house in the morning prepared
for fl ght Maddox had shotgun and
Powers revolver A peaceable discus
sion soon changed to hot words and
actions, when Clayton ran into the house
and got a Colts navy with which he fired
on his assailants Maddox was shot in the
left side, below the heart. Powers while
drawing his revolver on Clayton was shot
through the pistol hand Penrose escap-
ed unhurt. Clayton then put the wound
ed men in a wagon and took them home.
There is no officer in Melrose, so he came
to Butte to give himself up and went to
jail. The account given by Clayton is
that Maddox and two companions passed
him Yesterday morning while he was NOW
ing near his house. They were on a hay
wagon going to putup hay ground that he
had cleared of stones several years ago.
Last week Maddox had a man moving on
the same ground. Clayton got off of the
machine and said, Maddox, this is a fine
trick you have been playing me about
that hay ground" Il don't known that
you have any more right to it than L. re
piled Maddox. Clayton explained about
clearing it Of stones, when Maddox said,
II cleared it of stones twelve years ago
and am going to have it." Saying this
he jumped off the wagon with double
barreled shotgun in his hand and made
for Clayton 'fhe latter stepped back to
his mower, seized a revolver laying on it
| and fired twice at Maddox. Powers stood
up in the wagon with a revolver in his
hand. Clayton lodged behind the wagon,
seized Powers revolver and ordered him
to drop it and on his failure to comply he
shot him through the hand, whereupon he
dropped. it. All this time Maddox and
the other man We're stoning him. Clayton
called to men in the field to help him and
when they arrived Maddox lay down
saying I'm dying" and asked Clayton to
take him home, which he did. Clayton

News from Down River.

FORT BENTON, August IL Capt
Sears report on the Missouri meets with
strong lisfavor here as he underestimates
the importance of that great river. In an
article on the subject the Rirer Press says:
ssThe Rsger Press would like to know
what right Capt. Sears has to officially as
sumo that the railroad will shut out navi
cation on this river, and so report to his
chief officer. Is he not, by SO doing, tax
ing entirely too much for granted? The
very arguments he uses to show that an
appropriation for next year might serve a
good purpose is sufficient to prove that
his assumption is false. If the work on
the river is to be continued simply to
"bluff" the railroads it will not serve that
| purpose unless steamers can ply on the
river successfully during the season of
navigation, carrying freight at very low
rate With further Improvements of the
river this can unquestionable be done, and
| the steamboats, will be able to enter into
lively competitor with the railroads. With
out good river even, the "bluff' game
can not be successfully carried out, aud
hence we fail to see any possible excuse
| for the statement in the report that there
| is NO further occasion for eXpending
| much money on the upper Missouri
